<p>unless you get a 2400 one-sitting, I think you are screwed. please give up. </p>
<p>I’m kidding. REALLY narrow down your E.C. list…it just looks like a laundry list of activities now…</p>
<p>With stats like yours, you are definitely qualified at a top 10 university but at the same time you certainly are not guaranteed one. This is a situation where I would recommend applying to A LOT of reach schools, as someone with your credentials is likely to get into at least a few of them. Of course, if you are not interested in a school, don’t apply for it.</p>
<p>i rly appreciate all of the feedback. got some other scores back just now.</p>
<p>ACT- 34</p>
<p>SAT II- Bio:780 US:740 Math II:730</p>
<p>im not really devastated by the scores, just underwhelmed. do i have any reason to re-take one of these?</p>
<p>(im good w/ the ACT, i was jw about the SAT II’s)</p>
<p>bump plz…</p>
<p>bump 10 char</p>
<p>Perhaps you might want to retake Math II if you feel like you can earn a better score; with an adequate understanding of precalculus it shouldn’t be too difficult to earn a 750+. Also, Harvard has implied that it weighs subject tests about as heavily as your SAT reasoning, so there is incentive to raise your subject test scores, even though they are already strong.</p>
<p>Here, I’ll repost your ECs as something that doesn’t make the admin cry.</p>
<p>Some should be removed, but you didn’t provide more info.</p>
